Resumo(s)
Exergaming is a modern approach frequently used to promote
physical activity at all ages while playing digital games. Given that
physical health deteriorates with age, that older people tend to live
sedentary lifestyles and that they get tired faster due to lack of
physical stimulation, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular
exercise routine is important to avoid unintentional injuries. Taking
into account interviews and a focus group with seniors and fitness
professionals, this paper reports on the design and development
of an exergame for seniors to complement their weekly exercise
classes. Fit Fest is an exergame for seniors that leverages narra
tive and sociocultural connections to create an engaging exercise
experience.
